SpamBot detection handler

[SpamBot]

SpamBot

Block access to your Web Site (singe pages or whole Internet presence) for spam robots. All IP or e-mail addresses are identified as Spam (suspicious access) or Ham (allowed access) based on BlackList or WhiteList or provider checks.

The following providers are currently supported:

InternCaching of testing results. Definition of BlackList or WhiteList.

Create a new Frontend module of typ SpamBot-IP or SpamBot-Mail. Configure which provider should be used.

Create a new page (optional) to which suspicious visitor should be redirected or check and update template mod_spambot according to your requirements (existing template supports German and English messages).

Include module either in Page layout or on one or more pages as Page element.

Usage:

All visitor IP / mail addresses are checked and in case of suspicious visitor (Spam) either a message is displayed or visitor is redirected to a preselected page.

Using a new menu option in BackEnd (in Account management) you can specify addition IP / mail addresses or regular expressions in BlackList or WhiteList.

After checking the IP address, the following InsertTags are available in all templates:

{{SpamBot::clientIP}} IP address checked

{{SpamBot::Typ}} Spam typ

{{SpamBot::Engine}} Spam provider name (probably with link)

{{SpamBot::Status}} Status message

Specifics:

Search engines were called in parallel. With this special solution operational capacity is enlarged dramatically.

We recommend using modules only on page level.

Depending on which / how many provider you want to use latency time for displaying pages are extended. If you include module e.g. only on registration page and/or on contact page all other pages will be displayed faster.

If you use a Internet site with multi-language support you may define multiple Frontend modules with a a language specific redirection page.

With this plugin you may lock specific pages from being displayed (in your intranet) using the BlackList or allow only specific visitors to see these pages using WhiteList.

You may use SpamBot-Mail in any form of your choice. Please don't forget to include modul at top of your page.

Test:

We highly recommend making any tests on a page not visible for other visitors or on a local copy of your Internet site (may bee you will lock or potential customers during testing :-).
